A great film, but...

it could've used more slow-mo, fully zoomed-in rabbit shots. I felt there weren't nearly enough.

those were quite terrifying, especially the really fuzzy ones with the little mitten paws

I believe that the idea of this movie came from the inner torment being released from the writers soul. He must have seen many rabbits in his time, and they must have all *beep* each other. Furthermore the slomotion was used to represent the raw power displayed by these phenominal creatures. That is all. Signing off~Jim the Bunny.

Keep your receipts, cos this ain't the Mafia.

Should be shown with "Anal Brigade".

I thought it really needed more scenes with the whiney little girl myself.

My two year old smiled and said "bunny" whenever the rabbits were onscreen, no matter how menacing they were supposed to be. She loved this movie.

Sincerely, yahmez the mad.

It would've been a pretty good movie if they'd change the species of the villains. Giant rabbits are just not frightening. I noticed that The Food of the Gods ripped off a lot of the rampage and attacks from this movie.

I agree. Those shots were the best part of the entire film.
